Forza Motorsport Update 21 Adds New IndyCars, Champions Cup Career, and Featured Tours

After treating the players with Fujimi Kaido, Turn 10 Studios has returned with exciting new content, following the 20 Years Celebration update. It’s a free expansion and brings stuff that every racing nerd will highly appreciate. From new cars to featured tours, here’s everything you need to know about Forza Motorsports Update 21. 

Addition Of IndyCars

Yes, you heard it right, the game now welcomes the latest generation of IndyCars, bringing you an intense open-wheel experience. Say hello to the following cars:

  • 2025 Chevrolet IndyCar
  • 2025 Honda IndyCar

If you think these cars are here for a limited time, don’t worry! Both of these Indy legends are here to stay permanently. They are fully purchasable through in-game Credits, and you can even expect discounts after July 2, 2025. 

All-New IndyCar Series

Those shiny new IndyCars aren’t just for the show. Turn 10 has announced a separate IndyCar series that allows you to get behind the wheel and immerse yourself in some high-speed Indy action. 

Just head to Featured Multiplayer or look for the IndyCar Series in the Thunder Tour, which sits inside the brand new Champions Cup Career mode. 

The series in Featured Multiplayer will let you experience oval track layouts and GP/road circuits. Plus, the aerodynamic parts adjust themselves automatically, according to the chosen track. 

This isn’t it, you can even attempt hot laps at the world-famous circuits such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, thanks to the new ‘Spec Division – IndyCar’ Rivals event. 

The Champions Cup, New Career Mode

The latest update also brings a new racecar-focused career mode, known as “Champions Cup”. It takes the single-player experience to the next level, providing a variety of events exclusive to multiple disciplines. 

The following are the different tours, which unlock Invitational events upon completion, allowing you to earn a rare set of wheels as rewards.
